Career
PSY is said to be a very controversial person due to his mental condition. He is known to be mentally unstable. Since he was young, he has been known as an uncontrollable brat, and has been criticized for his wild behavior. His album ‘3 PSY’ was a huge success.
After the Korean war ended, he found himself suddenly surrounded by girls (who were attracted to a man sporting a pistol). PSY went to Japan to further his education and started a family. A few years later, he decided to work as a male nurse. He married and after some time with his wife, PSY returned to Korea to pursue pop music.
His fifth album ‘PSY-5’ contained two singles including his smash hit ‘Gangnam Style’ which earned him the title ‘Korean Music Pioneer’.
In December 2015, he released two ‘tongue in cheek’ style videos titled ‘Daddy’ and ‘Napal Baji’ from his next studio album titled PSY7 which includes guest appearances by some of the most popular American musicians such as Black Eyed Pea and Will.i.am.
PSY is regarded as one of the most renowned and influential internet celebrities and most influential K-pop artists. He is the first musician to have crossed two million followers on the social network site Twitter and the first to cross 5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. He has also been hailed as the first internet celebrity to get in-studio appearances from the most popular media outlets in the world.
